he has instructed law enforcement officials, federal law enforcement officials, to continue to ask that question and try to get an answer to that question. you know, it's interesting historians will undoubtedly sort of debate the president's reaction and response to the boston bombings, much as they did with president george w. bush after september 11th, but what we saw yesterday in the white house was the president and his team really trying to keep pace with those quickly evolving events yesterday out of boston. the president noticeably staying out of public view. we didn't hear from white house press secretary jay carney yesterday. that because they didn't want to come and comment on this situation because there were so many unknowns and because it was developing and evolving so quickly. so, president obama, we finally saw him last night, but i can tell you throughout the day he was being briefed, he had a big briefing with his entire national security team in the morning. then again at about 4:00, he spoke with some of his top advisers, placed phone calls to governor deval patrick a

i do favor more cameras they're a great law enforcement method and device. and again, it keeps us ahead of the terrorists. who are constantly trying to kill us. i hope that members of congress, both parties including my own will realize that the war against terrorists are not over. and it's foolhardy to make cuts in homeland securities. especially whose cities, whose police departments need this. >> this poignant message for all of us, this photo was taken outside the dorchester home of 8-year-old martin richard who as we know died yesterday while watching the marathon with his family. his mother and sister still seriously injured. we've all had those moments. when you lost the thing you can't believe you lost. when what you just bought, just broke. or when you have a little trouble a long way from home... as an american express cardmember you can expect some help. but what you might not expect, is you can get all this with a prepaid card. spends like cash. feels like membership. arrival. with hertz gold plus rewards, you skip the counters, the lines, and th

that's up of the most powerful federal laws. if two or more people conspire to commit a crime against the united states. that can add in additional co-conspirat co-conspirators. if he was talking to somebody on the phone, like al qaeda always use handlers like that, we're about to drop it, there could be other conspirators. it could have been a foreign call. it could be a fake call. two conspirators. federal speconspiracy charges. there could be accomplices helping afterward and before. maybe they surveilled this before. preincident indicators. maybe they come out and walk the route. so this is a whole lot of developments for agents and police that are going to help them crack this case and get to the bottom of this and the main thing, you know, like the ceo of netscape said the main thing is trying to keep the main thing the main thing. the main thing is no more bombs. >> what you know about this bomb, jim, is it possible that this could have been put together on site? that it didn't have to be carried on an airport? that the t

and i think it's fair to say the law isn't completely clear on this. let's us be clear on what we're talking about here. we're talking about the miranda warning. you have a right to remain silent. anything you say can be used against you. you have the right to a lawyer, all that stuff. what the united states government has decided to do is invoke an exception to that rule. which says that when there is a danger to public safety and you need to get answers quickly, you can get the answers without the miranda rights and still use that information in court. so when does the clock tick on that period of the public safety exception? the moment you make an arrest, the moment you begin an interrogation, what? i mean, i think the justice department will take the position that it begins the moment they begin talking to him. but i suppose his lawyers can certainly say that the time had elapsed so much since his arrest that it's hard to assert that exception. my guess is that there's no clear rule here in the federal government. this is kind of a legal rule that'
